we have republican senators saying they will stand up to the grover norquist tax pledge. they're willing to break it which is pretty big news. we also have the influential member of congress, republican tom cole saying we have got to agree to extend the tax cut just for those people making $250,000 and below and letting the more wealthy be taxed. definitely flexibility but what you see from democrats is an unwillingness to do serious entitlement reform that would lead to reductions in spending. they want to kick the can down the road and do more of the next year with the vague promises. dennis: the think republicans will be willing to agree upfront to more tax revenue or higher tax rates as we go without a firm cap on entitlement reform? >> that is the big question. what is a firm commitment? what they're going to look for is some spending cuts this year with an avenue towards entitlement reform next year is the best they are going to get. absolutely what the deal is going to be is the wealthier people, making $250,000 a year, will see their taxes go up. that is a given.

some of them renouncing grover nor kwis's no tax increase pledge. it is a party struggling right now to find its way but also trying to consolidate and say we're still the fiscally conservative republican party that we always were and toent like raising taxes. >> how much from leaders on both sides is simply theatrics? >> a lot of it. right now we're seeing the president taking his show on the road. the republicans will take their show on the road. the president's meeting with ceos, the republicans will meet with ceos. the president meting with small business, the republicans will meet with small business. "republican voters know that elections have consequences and that mitt romney's defeat means there will be policy defeats too, but they will give the house and senate gop credit if it fights for its principles and drives a hard bargain." so, standing up for your principles is what this is about. letting your team know you're still leading the team. this is about positioning yourself to get the best deal you can get for your constituents. but today

there is a lot of talk that is being put out there about the pledge that was signed, that grover norquist orchestrated pledge that was signed by so many members to not raise taxes under any circumstances. did you sign that, and how do you feel about it now? >> oh, i signed it and i absolutely believe we don't have to raise taxes now. we can get this country spending under control through frgual management and good effective management of this out of control government but we've got to deal with the crisis we face. we have to deal with the political reality of the president's victory. so we'll wrestle with all of that as we go forward but i want to see and insist that this money be used to reduce the deficit if there is any revenue coming in. martha: i want to ask you this one more time. when you look at the statements by senator lindsey graham and senator sachs by chambliss who basically said i'm willing to revisit the tax pledge but only if we get real commensurate spending cuts, what do you think about that posture from them? >> well, lindsey's, he is a member of the budget committee wh
